Author Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner) Speaks at Saratoga Gym

Since its initial publication in 2003, nearly seven million readers have been captivated by Afghani-American Dr. Khaled Hosseini's best-selling book The Kite Runner. It's an extraordinary, heart-wrenching story of two boys coming of age in ravaged, war-torn Afghanistan, and was the basis for an Academy Award-nominated film of the same name. The equally critically acclaimed A Thousand Splendid Suns followed in 2007, focusing on the tumultuous lives of two Afghan women. Now see Hosseini in person as he discusses the Khaled Hosseini Foundation, a nonprofit humanitarian assistance organization he founded after a 2007 visit to his home country. Cheryl Jennings from KGO Channel 7 will moderate the discussion. You have two ticket options; the private reception option includes admission to the event as well as a pre-signed copy of A Thousand Splendid Suns, light appetizers and drinks, and a chance to meet Hosseini before the discussion.
